When planning to adopt virtual-classroom platforms for learning
sessions, successful organizations need a clear idea of what management,
design, delivery, and technical issues to consider.

The eLearning Guild has been successfully producing virtual
learning sessions since 2004, and has developed thousands of hours of recorded
content. In this session, you will explore the key elements of virtual-session
success that the Guild has identified from our decade-plus of experience.
You’ll learn how to develop a reliable, repeatable process for producing
virtual learning sessions, how to adjust instructional design and delivery
techniques for virtual classrooms, and how to make your virtual-classroom
platform and related tools work reliably. You’ll also learn how to successfully
coach a subject matter expert (SME) and leave with tips on how to best avoid
technical issues—all while making everything look easy to the learners.

In this session,
you will learn:

How to effectively manage the production of successful
virtual learning sessions, from planning to evaluation

The recommended roles for an effective virtual-classroom
production team

How to design for virtual classrooms rather than face-to-face
ones

How to determine how much coaching an SME needs to be an
effective presenter

Tips for avoiding and troubleshooting technical issues
before, during, and after virtual sessions
